about the surfactant

I have a sample of misture. I know it compose of base and several surfactants . Then I want to know whether I can know which surfactants are there in it and the amount of these surfactants. I don't know which type of the surfactant they are . This misture is a kind of cleaner using for cleaning glasses .

Search for the MSDS (material safety data sheet) of your cleaner. An MSDS will tell you everything that's in your cleaner, how dangerous it is, etc. It may be accessible from the company's web site, through google, by e-mailing them, or by simply calling them and asking for one. If you call them, though, you might as well ask them what's in it.

Thank you for help
